Services Provided

The initial evaluation will include a physician examination with other testing that will consist of a variety of hearing and balance tests. The exact testing will depend on the specifics of the individual’s condition. Because of the time consuming nature of some of the tests and the complexity of the conditions being evaluated, the examination may take more than one visit.
